There is no other way to put it other than this: the Carolina Panthers lost a game versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers they clearly should have won. Pulling defeat from the jaws of victory like that, against a divisional opponent and in the manner it happened, brought back feelings many fans have not had since the infamous DJ Moore helmet game in 2022. You remember, that game where the Panthers scored a touchdown within the last minute of the game that should have been the dagger, squandered the lead, ended up in overtime, had a chance at redemption after stopping the initial offensive drive, made it within field goal range with victory all but assured.
